School of Materials Engineering
With 200 students and 20 professors, Materials is
one of smallest Engineering disciplines at Purdue
Materials discipline is small fraction of all
Engineering Worldwide 2 of engineers
have Materials degree. Small field, but
important because everything is made of
materials

Different Types of MSE Programs

• Emphasize one class of Material, like Metals or
  Ceramics
• Emphasize Science (fundamental) or Engineering
  (applied)
• Trends
• Combine with larger fields Mechanical and
  Materials
• Chemical and Materials
• 2. General MSE all classes of Materials

19
Purdue MSE Program

• General MSE (Metals, Ceramics, Polymers,
  Composites) gt Bachelor degree (4 years)
• Students join in Year 2, after First-Year
  Engineering
• Special emphasis on materials processing
• Large amount of MSE laboratory classes
• - measure properties and microstructure
• - conduct processing (casting, forming, etc.)
• Design projects sponsored by Industry
